Patent number: 9435520Abstract: A small form-factor gimbal system that provides for stabilization of payload assets in a manner that provides improved stabilization capability. Such a small form-factor gimbal system provides for precision payload asset steering functionality through integration of an inertially stabilized two-axis gimbal in combination with a beam stabilization mechanism (BSM). In a preferred embodiment, such a small form-factor gimbal system has a gimbal diameter of about 5? or less and employs a laser assembly having a Coudé path arrangement in which the laser beam passes from the azimuth subassembly to the elevation subassembly along the elevation subassembly rotational axis.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: ASCENDANT ENGINEERING SOLUTIONSInventors: Eric Segerstrom, Greg Mooty, Rick Miller
